The things Ive read say different things so my question is: On tethering Im using my Smartphone Data Plan right? And I am using my 4g not home router. I prefer the usb method, so would I be using my phones IP each time? wouldnt it be the same IP each time since its assigned to my phone? OR do I use another program in addition to the Pdanet to get a new IP each time? | Lol seems you have quite a bit to learn
1. You will be using your 3G/4G data from your phone. Make sure you turn off your wifi, and make sure it's set to never automatically join your home network
2. USB tethering works exactly the same way as wifi/bluetooth tethering
3. Everytime you reactivate your cellular data, you are assigned with a "new" IP address
You do not need an app to change your IP address
You can either: toggle "aeroplane mode"
Or
Disable cellular data and reactivate it
4. You can log your phone's IP address history and ensure that you are assigned with a new IP that you haven't used before using the following apps:
"IPManager" by Techeden for iPhone
"IP Track" for Android
